Chapter 3 Rest in peace.

                                    

                                          
          Who do I want to be? I wanted to be a demon slayer...or a doctor. But my father wants me to chief. To take on this village and ban slayers. 
                          
    I want a meaningful life. "Hikari." I snap out of my trance as I got back to looking at Rengoku. "I'm sorry but please call me Y/n..." he nods as I got up to get some sleep. "Rengoku I'll be across the hall if you need anything." He nods as I left for bed. 
                          
    
                          
    "Run." I turn around as I saw I'm in a forest. "Run from what?" I saw the snow fall gently to ground. "Y/n! Run!" I turn to see Rengoku bleeding out. "Rengoku! Wait! I'm coming!" He slash his hand telling me no. "Just run! Please!" I didn't understand why he's telling me to run! He's hurt! "Y/n! Sissy!" I saw Hana running to pass Rengoku. "Mr. Flame tried protecting us! We need to run!"  Hana grab my hand a trying her best to pull me away. "No! Hana! Go! I need to stay here!" The I felt a sharp pain in chest. "Sissy!" "Y/n!" What just...
                          
———
I sprung up from my bed as I breathed heavy clinging my hand to my chest. Rengoku slide my door open with his sword at hand. "Rengoku...I'm okay just a nightmare..."  he laid his sword down and sat next to me. "Y/n...are you okay?" I shook my head. "You were bleeding out...Hana was chasing after me and I didn't listen to you or Hana and I was killed." Rengoku laid his hand on my back made circles on it. "It's okay...they come and go but I'm not dying tonight nor is Hana." He told me. I smiled at him. "Thank you Rengoku." "Please call me Kyoujuro since you were my healer the respect I can give you is to call me by my first name." I smiled at him. "Thank you Kyoujuro...do you mind staying here.." he shook his head. "I don't mind..." with a sigh of relief I laid down next to him just finally peacefully sleeping away. 
                          
     This day passed rather slowly. Just getting to know Kyoujuro more.  Learning about him more and more. He loves to help the people. He makes that very clear. But this is the night of second night. He leaves tomorrow morning. Fully healed. His wound is no longer infected and it's healing quite quickly. 
                          
    Enjoying some tempura and udon with him was nice having tea. 
Till my father burst into shop. "It's time for him to leave Y/n." I was shocked as I look at my father quite upset. "Father! Rengoku has till the morning to leave." My father shook his head. "Father don't you dare!" Kyoujurou got up and smiled at me. "Thank you for your hospitality Y/n but I must take my leave." I was shocked by his words. My father scoffs. "Leave now and don't come back." My father said coldly. 
                          
   "Kyoujurou..." he got his cape on and his sword. "Y/n...come with me...maybe just maybe you can learn this flame breathing and be someone you wish to be." I was stunned by his words. "Kyoujurou I love to but I need to stay here..." his smile. I don't want him to leave. 
                          
    "Y/n I wish you best journeys...in case I don't see you again I do love you company and cooking." He left out of shop as I stood there heartbroken. Don't leave me. 
Come back.
                          
    After crying my eyes out I got up to his room as I saw he left a note. 
                          
'Dear, Y/n Hikari. 
I do enjoy your company and kindness to help me. I will try to sneak by to see you again but if your reading this then you didn't agree to come with me. Which I understand. Big responsibility to be a princess. But your beautiful princess. Stay safe.' 
Truly, Kyoujurou Rengoku. 
                          
I wipe my tears. "I'll miss you." That's when this night got worse. 
                          
Screaming was heard outside. I got outside to see two demons. "Oh no." I shut the door place a chair in front of it. Theirs demons now! Why now! 
                          
   It's killing so many of my people. I open to door as I see my home on fire. 
I rush home quickly. "Mother!" I yelled. "Hana! Shepherd! Chiyo! Father!" I yelled. I ran into living too see Shepherd dead. Along with mother. "No! No..." I cried. "Hana! Father! Chiyo!" I went upstairs to see my little sister dead. "Chiyo!" I felt my tears flooding my cheeks. 
                          
    Ran into backyard as I felt a chain on my wrist. "Ah!" "Y/n! Sissy!" Being pulled into the air. "So this your eldest how interesting. A kind weak heart...but demon slayer reeks on you." The demon with weird tattoos stared at me. "Pretty though." 
                          
   Both wrist chained and held in the air above my father and Hana. "Your father did a great job getting rid of hashria...all fell into plan." I looked at my dad. "You told him to leave because they were here!" I yelled. "Oh yes he did. His son screaming daddy help me! Said we won't kill his son or wife he got rid of Hashria...but we still killed them and little girl too." I resist against the chains. 
                          
    "Become a demon and then we will let them go." He offered. "No! I won't become you monsters!" He snap his fingers and the demon killed Hana. "Hana! No! Hana! She was only 9!" I felt this anger boil. "Wrong answer one more time..." I look at my father. "I love you Y/n..." I smiled at him. Even though he caused this...I won't let him die restless. "I love you too dad." The demon killed him as well. 
                          
   "Look your village is dead family too! Just become us and you'll love forever in their honor." I shook my head. "They won't honor me if I become a monster!" 
                          
 Rengoku can't be far...please. "Kyoujurou! Rengoku!" I screamed. Pleaded. Till a sharp cut on my thigh. Dropped to ground. 
                          
Demon cutting his finger. "Then this forced change in you." I kicked and squirm. "Kyoujurou!" I cried. 
                          
"Flame breathing!"
                          
    The demon holding me down his head came clean off. "First form! Unknowing fire!" I was immediately picked up. "Hey! Wait!" I look up to see Kyoujurou. "My people my family!" Kyoujurou kept running. "I already kill them both but I checked for survivors Your the only one Y/n I'm sorry." Running through the woods. "Rest easy...you took care of me. Now let me do the same please." He look down at me. "Okay Kyoujurou.." 
                          
Rest In Peace Mother, Chiyo, Shepherd, and Hana. Rest easy and peacefully. I will become stronger.
